Plum Friands

What do you do with 4 egg whites and these plums?

You make friands of course!

After making the plum custard tart I was left with two things - egg whites and plums. One of the best uses of egg whites comes in the form of a friand. Unlike my previous version which used coconut flour, I've gone for the gluten free option once again and used the more easily found, rice flour instead.

You might notice these don't have they regular friand shape - I've run out of cases and the Essential Ingredient doesn't have them in stock either so I've improvised and made them using large muffin cases (about 7cm/3inch wide).

Hi Haalo,These do look and sound so good. And gluten-free is a bonus because my new neighbour is gluten (& dairy) intolerant and I have been scratching my head over what sweet treat I can make for her. A lot of stuff I want to make may be gluten free but not dairy free. This recipe is great because I also have all the ingredients at home!

As for these plums, they are a gem and I only see them for a week or two (maybe longer, I never notice) in Sydney and I always make this:http://sweet-sins.blogspot.com/2007/01/summer-delight-sugar-plum-cake.html

love this recipe - looks fantastic - and I always avoid those recipes which call for either egg yolks or egg whites because I wonder what anyone does with leftover eggs - must remember this recipe for those occasions

It is a disgrace that I only found your site now, look at all that I have missed out on!!! I have bookmarked your site, and I WILL most definitely be back. Both plum recipes look fab - check out my plum rendition if you have time...
